fame, was discovered at 10 O'Clock last
Wednesday 20 inst, near by his quarters
at the naval academy Annapolis NJ d., with
a bullet hole in right temple. A tag tied
er at Washington" Although he had
had mental troubles since he returned from
the Arctic regions, what Immediately led
to the suicide is thought to have been the
recent grounding OF the Constellation, of
which he had charge, on it's way to Nor
folk, and for which it is supposed he had a
fear OF being court-martialed. Further

young Robert w. Gatewood, OF the

happy in all his domestic relations, and

Mr.. Alexander Sullivan said in Chicago:

MAC and is evidently prepared to believe
any falsehood, however preposterous, on
account OF the death OF his brother, Lord
Frederick Cavendish. knowj just as much
and just as little about the Phoenix Park
affair as Lord Harrington himself, and in
that respect am in precisely the same po-
sition as Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Egan, Mr.. Bren-
nan and others OF the National league
whose names have been untruthfuliy con-
nected with, it. So far as Lord Cavendish
was concerned, Mr.. Parnell perfectly ex-
pressed my views. Concerning Burke,

Americans will understand this when add
that he held in Ireland q worse (if possible)
attitude to the people than the chief fiend

and a traitor. He visited prisoners in
the iails and under the guise OF friendship
tried to extort from them something that
might be twisted into evidence to convict
them. His motive was to retain his Office

Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at
Nottingham, Eng. said that if the Parnel-
